Grand Hotel Excelsior - Floriana

Breakfast was very good. The room is getting a little old, but still comfortable. Staff is very nice, pool area with small sandy beach and beautiful sea access.

Few sunbeds by the pool. If you want to get one, you have to be down by 8:00 at the latest. Drinks in the hotel are overpriced. Only 2 elevators for a 10 floor building, long waiting time.

I loved the lovely old fashioned and well-maintained hotel.

The room was a nice size and reasonably priced with beautiful harbour view, shower...

would definitely visit it again

The room was a Beautiful Double Room Full Sea View Terrace, spacious with a nice seating area, tv, and minibar. The hotel had a large outdoor pool open till late October and a great spa that provided excellent relaxation options. Breakfast had various fresh options including baked goods and an omelet station with views of the harbor.

The units are airy, luxurious. The venue has incredible location by the sea.

Magnificent hotel, it has lovely views and stunning location by sea. The great thing is location in the middle of the city. The beds are large to sleep on. The property provides a good service. Happy to have a bar in the reception.

This hotel is centrally located, within easy walking distance of the centre of Valletta. Its location directly on the harbour is stunning, making a swim in its pool a memorable experience. Our room was very comfortable, well insulated from sound outside the room and beautifully appointed. It was great to have a reasonably sized, efficient fridge in the room, which we could fill with what we liked including drinks bought outside the hotel, rather than a traditional minibar. The convenient parking free of charge was very welcome in a city where it's difficult to find a parking space.

Food was very variable in quality. Dinner was overpriced for what it was. The buffet arrangements for breakfast and dinner were good in that they meant one could ensure a choice of the best available option, but they became wearing after a few days . We did long for one exquisitely crafted meal, rather than trying to choose the best of a pretty mixed lot. Service was similarly variable, some of the staff providing faultless service whereas others were either slapdash or officious to the point of interfering. Having said all that, this was essentially a pleasant, comfortable hotel that we would stay in again and recommend to others because of the comfort of the rooms and the stunning location.

Both breakfast and lunch were below average. I would have expected more from the ambience here. The staff seemed rather overtaxed. There must be no canister scrambled eggs in such a hotel. But there was only one "cook" who could make fresh omlettes and pancakes - in a room for about 200 people - no comment. What a pity, otherwise the hotel, which has gotten old but still has charm, would actually be very good.

The room was spacious but the food was disappointing .

Friendly staff. Quite good breakfast buffet.

Few sunbeds with shade at the pool. Although separate beds were marked, this was not implemented by the hotel, so that we had to make use of a chargeable upgrade.

The location is great. The staff is nice. You can get to the old town quickly.

The equipment is a little "outdated".

Fine views of the Grand Harbour

Comfortable room, great bed (2*120cm), good room service. Great access to the private beach, great pool. Great location, short distances to Valetta

Furniture has become a little old. Breakfast could be richer, with a greater variety. Beach sunbeds were somewhat worn out and should be renewed

Private marina for waterfront excursions, fine views of the Grand Harbour, unique themed dinners with cultural cuisine

The hotel badly needs an upgrade!!! Multiple guests reported issues with room maintenance, leaving a less-than-stellar impression!!!

Great location, rooms and friendly recpetions taff.

Poor staff by the Tiki bar. Awful service and poor quality food for the price. A very disappointing factor that would stop me coming again. Also the pool was closed early twice due to wedding which is not good for paying guests and made me feel like a second class citizen. Also having to give your name to get a towel is not standard practice in a 5 star hotel. Needs improving

Hotel is very well situated to Valletta. The staff are helpful, friendly and polite. The room was large and well furnished.

The guest folder in the room stated that after the guest has left the room would be checked and any item missing would be charged to the guest. A long list of items followed. Many of these were not in the room to start with. This is not what one expects in a 5 star hotel.
